Aditi Monga

Multimedia & game designer

Hello world!
I’m Aditi.

I tend to wear multiple hats.

I create games and their rules, systems, levels, content, economies, stories and interfaces. I also make graphics, paintings, presentations and videos.

I’m curious, thoughtful, positive (some might even say funny!) and a bit of a perfectionist. I care about getting the details right without losing sight of the experience as a whole.

Beyond the work

I’ve lived in India, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, and travelled to over twenty countries.

Those experiences have widened my perspective, taught me adaptability, helped me curate an unpredictable playlist, and shaped my professional values: transparent communication, thoughtful iteration, kindness, and sharing memes.

I’m always on the lookout for new skills and hobbies to try.
